If you are a current member of the Trinity School community of learners, you are probably thinking to yourself:
a) 'Ok, so this girl makes like nine-thousand announcements about The Review, but I have no idea what it is.'
or:
b) 'I'm a boy, and no one makes announcements about The Review. Ever. I have literally no clue what you're talking about/I didn't even know we still HAD The Review and it was purely by chance that I stumbled upon this beautifully written wiki page.'
or:
c) 'I'm a member of faculty and I'm sort of intimidated by all of the brilliant students who are being published. Is it too late for me?'
That is a-ok. Your problems are about to be solved and you will wonder how you ever managed to live without The Review. First things first!
Comme-de-heck. What is this ... Review?
Only the best literary magazine you will ever read at Trinity School! I say this with confidence for two reasons: it actually is really incredible and it's our only publication, period.
Who is able to make submissions?
Everyone who's anyone, of course. This includes: any current Trinity student, seventh through twelfth grade; faculty; alumni.
What sort of submissions are you looking for?
We review any submissions that we are given. Most popularly, submissions consist of poems, short stories, photographs, and drawings. You aren't limited by these guidelines, though. In the past, we've also accepted song lyrics, essays (not from class), photo-journalistic installments, photos of self-created sculpture... the list goes on. Basically, anything that involves the right side of the brain is a valid submission. That being said, please don't send us math proofs or the formula of the cure for cancer.
How do I submit my works of genius?
If this work of genius is literary and on your computer, you have it easy. Just go to tgreview@gmail.com and send the file as an attachment. Please do not send the file as the body of the email, that makes the editor's job much trickier. If you are submitting a photo, these same rules apply. If you are submitting original artwork or a handwritten copy of anything, go find Kelci Schmidt in the junior/senior girls' locker room. The Review is the love of my life, I promise I won't lose anything that you give me. Really, I won't.
Who's in charge?
You are. The Review is a student run and published literary magazine. We work with an editorial board made up of students, of any age, who are interested in sharing their talents and helping their peers express themselves through the publication. The board's main responsibility is incredibly important, if not terribly time consuming. In around March, the editorial board reads and marks up all submissions and, together with the editor-in-chief and the faculty advisers, decides on what material will make up the issue.
Am I right for the Review board?
Being a member of The Review's editorial board is a great extra-curricular option for people who love art, reading, and writing, but don't have much time to devote to a club. Aside from optional workshops throughout the year, members of the board only have to worry about compiling the final index in March/April. If you're a writer, posing feedback on other authors' writings is a great way to learn new styles and improve your own skills. If you're a reader, psh! You'll get to read about eighty submissions. If you haven't picked up a book since sixth grade when your teacher made you read The Outsiders and you conveniently misplace your pencil bag and/or laptop every time your class is given writing assignments, The Review board might not be for you. But we love you anyway, and we encourage you to try your hand at submitting something.
What am I getting out of this?
Well so much for doing things for the common good! Psh! Working on the publication is an extremely rewarding experience. Not only do you get to see your name in print, which is awesome enough, but you are in charge of putting together a magazine that hundreds of people, including peers, teachers, and relatives read. Also, there is a good chance that random members of the faculty will stop you in the hall and tell you how amazingly brilliant you are. Or that your friends will say, "Gee... you just seem so much moreawesome these days." And it will be one-hundred-percent true.
What if I have a burning question that is not answered above?
Luckily for you, we are all-knowing in areas involving this publication. If you have any questions, please find Kelci Schmidt, Mrs. Keating, Mr. Dits, or any other member of the editorial board. Also, considering this wikispace was created for questions, you can start a discussion on this page. Chances are, someone else has the same question anyway. Additionally, we hope to have a blog soon where you can submit things year-round.
I just read all of this....
Whoa, very impressive. That probably means that you should submit something to The Review or join the board. Because clearly you are majestic.
